This privacy policy explains how HallabSweets.com collects, uses, and discloses the information of users of the www.HallabSweets.com Website (the "HallabSweets.com Website," or "our Website") and the HallabSweets.com ISP Services ("the ISP Services"), which are administered by our partners and contractors. ("ISP Service Partners").

Important terms

When reviewing any privacy policy on the Internet, you should be familiar with the terms "personally identifiable information" and "aggregate information." "Personally identifiable information" is any information that can be used to identify, contact, or locate you as an individual. Common examples are your name and email address.

"Aggregate information" lumps your behavior or characteristics together with those of a group. For instance, we may let advertisers know that 50% of our users are over 35 without disclosing the personal information of any one individual.

This section explains what information we collect through the HallabSweets.com Website and ISP Services. Please note that we correlate and supplement this data with both aggregate and personally identifiable information gathered by other companies. For example, Kmart collects personally identifiable information and information relating to customer purchases in its retail stores, and then shares this information with us.

Important: Children under the age of 18 should use our Website under the supervision of their parents or guardians.

When you register for the HallabSweets.com Website we collect personally identifiable information, including (but not limited to) your name, physical address, email address, phone numbers, and billing information. All of this information is mandatory; without it we will not register you. We also collect personally identifiable information through purchase forms, surveys, sweepstakes entries, emails we receive from you, and your other interactions with our Website.

When you use our Website we may collect a variety of technical data, which we store in both aggregate and, if you are registered with HallabSweets, personally identifiable forms. This data includes (but is not limited to) your IP address (a unique number that identifies your access account on the Internet), domain, and Web browser information. We may track the page you visited before coming to HallabSweets, and the page you link to when you leave HallabSweets, which of our pages you access, and how long you spend on each page.

The HallabSweets.com Website uses "cookies," which are small pieces of information stored on your computer. Cookies let our Website recognize previous visitors to our web page, record a visitor's progress from page to page, and recall certain information a visitor entered previously. For instance, a cookie may store your password, or note that you're interested in electronics. You can choose to decline our cookies (e.g., by setting your browser to reject cookies), but if you do, some parts of the HallabSweets.com website may not operate properly. We may also use tracking images and applets to collect the same information.

We allow third parties to collect aggregate and other anonymous information about our visitors through the HallabSweets.com Website. Should we enter into agreements that allow third parties to collect personally identifiable information about our visitors, we will inform visitors of these activities at the location of the collection.

Finally, note that our Website contains links to other sites on the Internet. Please remember that when you click on one of these links, you are leaving our Website and entering another. Again, we are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these other websites, and encourage you to read their privacy statements (which may differ from ours).

When you register for the ISP Services we collect personally identifiable information including (but not limited to) your name, home address, shipping address, email address, telephone number, birth date, gender, occupation, industry of employment, number of people in your household, the number of people in your household under 18, marital status, whether you own your residence, your current level of education, your household income, how you found out about our ISP Services, whether you shop at Kmart, whether you are willing to make purchases over the Internet, your areas of interest, and whether you would like to be contacted in the future. We also collect personally identifiable information when you communicate with us by sending email messages or other correspondence, or when you submit online forms and other such items.

When you use the ISP Services we collect a variety of technical data, which we store in both aggregate and personally identifiable form. This data includes (but is not limited to) (a) the sites you visit (by URL, or Universal Resource Locator) while on the ISP Services, the interactions you have with those sites, and the taskbar advertisements on which you click, and (b) usage information such as the telephone numbers from which and to which you dial into our ISP Services (including unsuccessful dial-in attempts), the time you spend online, and your IP address. The ISP Services also use cookies to identify you and record your Web surfing habits and the advertisements upon which you click.

We collect your information (personally identifiable information, aggregated information, or both) through one or more of our ISP Service Partners' servers, and through cookies, banners, and the like. The information collected via the taskbar portion of our ISP Services includes (but is not limited to) the type of ad banner displayed, the times the banner was displayed, and whether you clicked on the ad.

As you use the ISP Services you will have access to millions of websites maintained by third parties with whom we have no relationship. These third parties may also collect aggregate and personally identifiable information about you through their websites, banner ads, forms, and other methods. Again, the information practices of those third parties are not covered by this privacy statement. HallabSweets.com has no control over and is not responsible for the practices or the conduct of these other companies.

Note finally that we share aggregate data about our customers with third parties.
